experiences in Kosovo, North Macedonia, and the U.S. Utilizing faculty mentorship and critical reflection, students conducted interviews to assess disaster preparedness and community resilience. The methodology included qualitative interviews and reflective practices. The analysis was guided by theories of experiential learning. Findings reveal that mentorship and experiential learning significantly enhance research skills, cultural awareness, and personal development. The study underscores the importance of integrating experiential learning into education to foster critical thinking. Policy implications suggest that governments should support disaster preparedness and educators should prioritize applied learning initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>DOI: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a1p5-16.pdf\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57186\/jalhe_2024_v10a1p5-16<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a1_ref.pdf\">Access List of References<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JALHE Vol. 10, Article 1. 2024 Pages 5-16<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to cite this article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style=\"font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;\">Fisher, J.

One significant challenge is access to professional attire, a critical component for job interviews, presentations, networking events, and internships. Career closets\u2014designated areas on campus where students can go to receive new and gently used professional clothing at little to no cost\u2014can alleviate the challenge, but only if students know the resource is available. Promoting a campus career closet is a great way for students to practice their media and journalism, strategic communication, and business and marketing skills, as there is much to be shared with audiences using traditional and new media methods. Students can play a pivotal role in raising awareness, promoting engagement, and fostering a positive perception of the campus career closet among their peers and the broader community while simultaneously gaining valuable experience and building their professional portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>DOI: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a4p47-52.pdf\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57186\/jalhe_2024_v10a4p47-52<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a4_ref.pdf\">Access List of References<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JALHE Vol. 10, Article 4. 2024 Pages 47-52<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to cite this article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style=\"font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;\">Costello, L.

Recently, national trends and revised English-Language Arts (ELA) standards across the United States have shifted to promoting foundational skills and science-aligned approaches which require PK-12 teachers to be prepared to integrate and provide scientifically based strategies to support students in learning how to read. These shifting landscapes have left district leaders evaluating current curriculums and seeking professional development opportunities that are more aligned with scientific findings and evidence-based practices. To better understand the outcomes or effects of the workshop, authors used a convergent parallel mixed methods design. The findings show that the early literacy workshop\u2019s format and content significantly impacted teachers\u2019 knowledge and perceptions of the important role that foundational skills play in developing skilled readers. As others look to develop professional training that mirrors the effectiveness of this one, they must thoughtfully consider the structure, application and the culture of the experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>DOI: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a6p72-84.pdf\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57186\/jalhe_2024_v10a6p72-84<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a6_ref.pdf\">Access List of References<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JALHE Vol. 10, Article 6. 2024 Pages 72-84<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to cite this article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style=\"font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;\">Lemke, J., &amp; Wilcoxen, C.

These courses have been shown to increase students\u2019 personal growth and intercultural competency, while providing hands-on exploration of the natural and cultural history of other regions and countries. Study away courses are an excellent example of how 大象传媒 fulfills its mission as the applied learning institution for the state of 大象传媒. 大象传媒 is an open-enrollment regional university with a large proportion of economically challenged students, many of whom are also first-generation college students. This situation presents many potential barriers to student participation in, and faculty coordination of, these courses. These challenges include course fees, trip logistics, institutional support, and perceptions of study-away courses. In this paper, we discuss how we have approached these challenges in one domestic and three international study away courses focused on biology and geology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>DOI: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a7p87-93.pdf\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57186\/jalhe_2024_v10a7p87-93<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a7_ref.pdf\">Access List of References<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JALHE Vol. 10, Article 7. 2024 Pages 87-93<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to cite this article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style=\"font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;\">Koy, K.

Efforts to survey and restore prairies offer a unique opportunity for applied learning in environmental education. This paper explores the potential of prairie survey and restoration projects to enhance students&#8217; applied learning experiences and develop practical skills in ecological research, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable land management. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from ecology, education, and community engagement, and utilizing flora survey of the John Rushin Teaching and Research Prairie at 大象传媒 as a model for applied learning, this paper examines the educational benefits of prairie survey and restoration and provides recommendations for integrating these activities into formal and informal educational settings. By engaging students in hands-on activities, we aim to enhance understanding, foster environmental stewardship, and contribute to effective prairie restoration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>DOI: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a8p97-106.pdf\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57186\/jalhe_2024_v10a8p97-106<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a8_ref.pdf\">Access List of References<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JALHE Vol. 10, Article 8. 2024 Pages 97-106<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to cite this article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style=\"font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;\">Cook, T., &amp; Roy, T.

A review of the literature indicates that a) graduate programs heavily weight undergraduate research in the selection process, but that b) research opportunities are not equitably distributed among students, and furthermore, c) traditional research experience is not a very good predictor of graduate school success anyway. By capitalizing on existing applied activities, faculty can help a more diverse range of students bolster their curriculum vita, without stretching the student (or ourselves) too thin. This paper offers practical guidelines that have been successfully implemented in an undergraduate university setting with a dedicated applied learning mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>DOI: \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a9p108-113.pdf\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.57186\/jalhe_2024_v10a9p108-113<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/appliedlearning\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/116\/2024\/10\/JALHE_2024_V10_a9_ref.pdf\">Access List of References<\/a><\/p>\n<p>JALHE Vol. 10, Article 9. 2024 Pages 108-113<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to cite this article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style=\"font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Times New Roman';font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;\">Waters, K.
